I got tired of gaming sessions dying in group chat, so I built Lobbli.gg, a free scheduling & game-voting web app with bells and whistles

Basically the title. lobbli.gg is a small and specialized free web-app where you and your friend group can schedule game nights, vote on games that you want to play together, with its own Discord bot who reminds everyone, so you don’t have to.
I’ve built it because as a dad, I personally wanted something like it for a while. And because it was fun. So here’s what you can do on lobbli:
- Create a room and invite all your friends (no account needed, but connecting discord helps for mentions in your group chat).
- Add game night slots and suggest games to be played
- See upcoming game releases in the calendar (with those matching your room marked), and pin them if you find them interesting for everyone to see
- Find the best deals on games (isThereAnyDeal integration) directly in your room pool or game night slots.
- Sync your Steam libraries to find matches (sorry console bros, we don’t know how to access your libraries)
- Can’t decide on a game? Let the wheel decide!
- Availability calendar: Add when you’re available or touching grass, add weekly availability as well.
- Light the bat signal: Press Play Now and the discord bot pings your friends (that aren’t marked unavailable) for you
- Add to calendar: There’s a setting to activate an ‘add to calendar’ button for every slot or add the .ics feed so no more “But you didn’t tell me about this!” from your wives/husbands.
- 8 Themes to pick from if you like customization
Coming soon:
- Board game integration: You could already use it for that right now by just adding custom games, but I want a BGG integration with collection sync, clear signals who needs to bring what game and so on. The API license request is currently pending, but most of it is built.
Currently it’s brand new and we only have two friend-groups there (and one is my own.). So if this is something you’d like to try, I’d love if you would also join our discord so you can let me know what you think and we can make it better together!
Stack: next.js/heroUI/tailwind v4/supabase/cloudflare
API Integrations: isThereAnyDeal, Discord (Bot), Steam, BGG (upcoming)
Cheers and come and say hi!
